Hawaii's Kilauea volcano erupted, as lava flowed over its cauldron! The quiescent Goddess awakes! What once was a placid pool of liquid lava, has morphed into a geyser of magma. And it's ejecting molten plumes of rock high into the atmosphere, lighting up the night. When Gaia flows into the sea, is she giving birth to the land? Time contradicts; permanency.

So wonderfully creative this metaphoric write, Emile. I love the foundation that underlies your theme and ideas. I especially love that the energy of the poem takes off from the disturbed quiescence of the Goddess. This is marvelously crafted my friend with many intricate layers. Blessings! A fav for me.

Thanks, Jan, yes, unfortunately, like beauty and the beast, devastation often accompanies a spectacular volcanic eruption, I appreciate your comments my friend, Emile.

These volcanoes erupting is not a good thing for those who live in that area. I feel for all those people who are losing everything. Enjoyed reading your work. Sara
